Going all the way back to the sixties I was and still am a fan of the original Move lineup. Trevor, in my opinion, was the coolest of the bunch. He was the most fun to watch perform and his exuberance was infectious.
Thanks for posting this interview. Went to see Trevor at the Red Lion in Kings Heath a number of times in the late eighties, if he ever broke a string mid song he'd disappear for a long smoke leaving the band jamming on their own for 15 minutes. Always ended the set with Dobie Gray's Drift Away. I never realised until recently he was the "Trevor Burton" credited as the Bass player on the Kossoff album, Back Street Crawler
Hi Des,..Subbed! Wow! Fascinating interview, also your chat with Bev Bevan,..stacks of vids then come up such as the Move, quite superb! I was at junior school at the time so missed out on all these gems. Only came across Pickettywitch six months ago and their superb lead singer, Birmingham's very own Polly Brown,...do you ever plan to chat to Polly or are these artists difficult to locate? Think she was with Second City Sounds for 18 months around 1966/67, would love to see her interviewed.
For me it was too late to experience The Move in the original lineup. For me it was the best lineup of this band. I was born in 1952 in East Germany and we had no chance, to see our heroes. But we heard them on the radio. The Move was one of my favorite bands ever. Thenk you so very much for this interview! It would make me happy, to see an interview with Ace Kefford!

A true birmingham legend. Des you should really get the other true legend and the most under estemated brummy in the music industry on your show, the one and only Mr steve gibbons.
Trevor is a great all-round musician. Known for his talent on Guitar and Bass, but Trevor played Keyboards when required with the Steve Gibbons Band. A great harmony vocalist too.
Saw the Steve Gibbons Band regularly at the Railway before they toured America with the Who. Trevor and Bob Lamb on drums were one of the best rythmn sections I ever saw, he's a great bass player, useful on guitar as well, must have picked up quite a bit off Jimi. Thanks for posting Des. Subbed
Back in 97 i went to see T B in Birmingham in a pub called the adam and eve i think? Anyway he did a blues set and have to say he was really good and enjoyed it 👍😸
@Des Tong: I was Trevor’s upstairs neighbour circa 1981 when he was in SGB. I was about 9. Trevor would show me his guitar gear our families shared the back garden. He had. 2 or 3 year old toddler, an Airedale terrier and an American missus with a curly hair. I used to play on the garden with his kid and dog now and again. When I was starting to get into Rock, I would pester him with questions and ask him to show me his guitars and amps. I went to his kids birthday and there were some wild characters there, I’m sure I saw Roy Wood with an outrageous beard. If u are in touch with Trevor… tell him the address was 47 Church Rd Moseley. B13. See if it rings a bell. Do I sound like him? He inspired me to follow music. I think my rootsy lead guitar has a hint of Trevor: music.th-cam.com/video/WRMpQsQJjoY/w-d-xo.html&si=CQHjwZZokKb81nLC
I used to see Trevor with Roger Hills Spitfire, back in the late 70's at the Railway pub Curzon street., Brum, Trevor would play Further On Up The Road, the old Freddie King number, on lead guitar, pretty damn good too, whilst waiting for Roger to appear, who was always late!!! He would eventually turn up, push his way through the crowd, get on stage & then play the set. It was choreographed to perfection, just for the the craic!!! Great days, then years later at the infamous Adam & Eve pub in Bradford street, opposite Moseley road cop station, where invariably i would end up after 15 pints of guiness & a couple of black eyes!!! Fantastic days!!! Oh to be young again. Giod bless trev!!
Ive been listening to the moves hits and i can't stop thinking about trev, i hope hes okay. And im sorry trevor, but i love blackberry way, im a sucker for the mellotron! Hello des, i hope your good, happy summertime mr bass man.
I remember seeing Trevor playing with the Steve Gibbons Band in June 1976 at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, they were support act to Electric Light Orchestra.

Thanks, any interview with members of the move is a gold mine!
I went to the same school as Trevor, he left a few weeks before I started, he was the school hero to most of us, we all loved The Move.....

He was an absolute animal as a bass player with Steve Gibbons band. And the backup vocals were spot on!

@@destongTV have you interviewed Steve Gibbons for your show?
@@LEEFORDJAGG no, he wasn’t available at the time.
Trevor Burton was 16 when he joined The Move in 1965.
Saw the Steve Gibbons Band regularly at the Railway before they toured America with the Who. Trevor and Bob Lamb on drums were one of the best rythmn sections I ever saw, he's a great bass player, useful on guitar as well, must have picked up quite a bit off Jimi. Thanks for posting Des. Subbed
Trevor Burton, cool then and now.
Saw Steve gibbons band support the who in 75 at the bingley hall Stafford
I am a big fan of Trevor saw him with the Move Ballymena N Ireland 1966

'Balls' is a great name for a band I'd love to hear some of their stuff!🙂

I love them too but they were before my time unfortunately. I wasn't born until 74' but would have loved to have been around in the 60s 👍🙂
